This morning’s call was pretty animated.
A discussion, of Skype’s new pricing, which quickly delved into how much of an impact the pricing might have on their market share. Consensus: not much.
And then a discussion of Twitter’s outage, and who it impacted. Outside the Silicon Valley echo chamber, we thought most people wouldn’t likely know.
On the call: Alec Saunders, Jim Courtney, Dan York, James Body, Jonathan Jensen, Dave Brown, Wilhelm Wimmreuter, Moshe Maeir, Adam Somer, Ian Hood, Cece Salomon-Lee
Sound quality was less than stellar for me. Unfortunately, Windows Vista insists on restoring input levels to defaults (which are too high) on reboot. My microphone clipped the whole call.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
